♈ Aries Daily Horoscope for July 16, 2025
July 16 has you moving fast and thinking faster, Aries. You're chasing goals like they're going out of style, but remember: not every battle is worth charging into headfirst. Today is all about channeling that fiery drive in a direction that actually serves you — not just your ego.
Career:
You're ready to take on the world — or at least your inbox. Just don't bulldoze your way through tasks. A coworker might need your support, and slowing down to help could spark a collaboration that benefits you both.
Love:
Single Aries, flirtatious banter could turn into something deeper today — if you let it. Coupled Aries, don't let mood swings start unnecessary arguments. A little patience (yes, we said the 'P' word) goes a long way.
Body:
Your energy is high, but so is your chance of overdoing it. Get moving — take a walk, hit the gym, stretch it out — but listen to your body's limits. You're not a machine, even if you act like one.
Mental Health:
Feeling restless? That's your cue to do something creative or spontaneous. Structure can be grounding, but today, your soul craves freedom and play. Break routine — mindfully.

Project Hail Mary and six other audiobooks that are better than the originals
Not all books are meant to be read. Audiobooks, with authors or stars as narrators and high production values that include music and sound effects, have become more than mere vocal adaptations. They offer new ways of experiencing a story that are sometimes so effective that they surpass the original. Below are some of our favourite audiobooks, arranged alphabetically, and why we think they are better than the original. 1. Project Hail Mary: Written by Andy Weir, narrated by Ray Porter (2021) Project Hail Mary, the third novel from The Martian scribe Andy Weir, has shot to the top of the charts as of late, thanks to love from the BookTok community, its upcoming film adaptation starring Ryan Gosling and a rip-roaring audiobook read by voice actor Ray Porter (Zack Snyder's Justice League). If you've never listened to an audiobook, there are few better introductions to the format, as Porter brings warmth and humour to the story of a man who wakes up at the edges of space and slowly remembers he's there to save Earth when the sun mysteriously begins to die. And without giving anything away – it's best to go in cold (avoid the film trailer!) – sound becomes integral to the story. This one will hook you – and keep you guessing – until the very end. William Mullally, arts & culture editor 2. Dune: Written by Frank Herbert, full cast narration (2020) Dune, the seminal sci-fi novel by Frank Herbert, is set in a distant future where rival noble families battle for control of the desert planet Arrakis. First published in 1965, the novel is famously dense and considered challenging for new readers. The audiobook is narrated by a full cast including Scott Brick, Orlagh Cassidy, Euan Morton, Simon Vance and Ilyana Kadushin. The production includes atmospheric sound design – wind, echoes, ambient textures – that enhances immersion without overwhelming the narration. The shifts in voice and sound design help you move between scenes and storylines more clearly, making it easier to stay engaged and retain information. Fadah Jassem, head of data visualisation 3. Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone: Written by JK Rowling, narrated by Stephen Fry (1999) Like much of the world, when the first Harry Potter film came out, I rushed to read the books. I lugged Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone around London despite finding it hard to get into, but was assured by friends with small children (who were reading it on repeat at bedtimes) that it was worth persevering with and I would soon be captivated. So I struggled on, and even made it to halfway before I gave up, baffled by the storyline. I tried to connect with the film, but was also unmoved. Then, earlier this year while recovering from a migraine, I stumbled upon the audiobook version narrated by Stephen Fry. Locked in post-migraine misery, Fry's soft voice and the magical, wizardly story became my lullaby, softly carried me back to the world of the living and showed me why the world loves Harry Potter. But, despite having listened to it, I am still not ready to tackle the books. Sarah Maisey, deputy Luxury editor The voice of the maverick, iconoclastic science fiction writer Philip K Dick is difficult to capture. He's best known now for adaptations of his work – Blade Runner, Minority Report, Total Recall – but no reimagining has quite captured the totality of his genius. The closest anyone has got is Paul Giamatti 's 2006 reading of the 1977 novel A Scanner Darkly, a dark satire about a world controlled by an illicit substance shrouded in conspiracy. Giamatti was supposed to play Dick in a biopic. While that project never came to fruition, this audiobook proves that no one could play him better. It's funny, thought-provoking and morbidly comforting. William Mullally, arts & culture editor 5. Me: Written and narrated by Elton John, with Taron Egerton (2019) While the physical book was fun and zipped by, the audiobook version of Elton John's best-selling memoir felt like a fully fledged album. The format includes additional song snippets, used to explain the creative impulses behind tracks such Your Song and Goodbye Yellow Brick Road. Incorporating Elton John and actor Taron Egerton, who played him in the 2019 biopic Rocketman, also works. John reads the prologue and epilogue, and Taron the rest, showing the passing of age vocally and making the book feel richer and more immersive. Saeed Saeed, features writer 6. Pet Sematary: Written by Stephen King, narrated by Michael C Hall (2018) Who would have thought there was a way to make Stephen King's Pet Sematary even more creepy. In a brilliant reading by Dexter star Michael C Hall, the audiobook captures the enveloping dread and emotional weight of a story about Louis Creed, who moves with his family to rural Maine, where a nearby burial ground can bring the dead back to life. Hall's measured pacing, tonal shifts and ability to embody different characters make the listening experience immersive, adding a chilling layer that heightens King's already haunting narrative. Evelyn Lau, assistant features editor 7. Talking to Strangers: Written and narrated by Malcolm Gladwell (2019) Malcolm Gladwell 's Talking to Strangers is a more creative way of doing audiobooks and deals with how we miscommunicate with each other. In an era of social media and WhatsApp, when we're messaging constantly, we're not hearing the tone of individuals. That is one of the clinch points of the book: we are talking to each other without hearing tone and therefore we're not fully understanding each other. At the beginning of the audiobook, Gladwell uses sound bites from the people he has interviewed. This gives you an idea of how these people sound and how we often miscommunicate, which is the main point of the book.

Your Career Horoscope for July 25, 2025
Today brings fresh momentum and new opportunities, with just the right balance between action and reflection across your professional path. Find daily astrological predictions for all sun signs for July 25. We recommend reading the horoscopes for your rising sign. Aries Career Horoscope While the Moon is still two days away from its last visit to your work sector before Mars leaves and it is when they connect early next week that things will really take off, the warrior planet of the cosmos already has the gloves off. After a bit of pressure from the lunar nodes earlier in the week when it comes to knowing when to keep your work hat on and when to take it off, by the time Mars moved into his final two weeks here yesterday, you have everything needed to put your foot on the gas and go for broke. Taurus Career Horoscope It is just as the Sun and Moon align to create today's New Moon, that their clash with Pluto in your career sector peaks. Any work/life balance tension this might create along with the Moon's return to a playful and creative part of your chart over the weekend, couldn't come with better timing. With the professional gods less than two weeks away from giving work and job matters the green light and pushing 'go' on the busiest months of 2025, this is the right reminder at the right time. Gemini Career Horoscope As the Moon leaves your income sector, this will leave you with more than just a sharp nose for money and a lucrative sense of direction as Jupiter's long term quest for income growth and expansion powers up. As well as leaving you with a download of information to unpack from across the income, work and career fronts, this has helped to lock in the professional support that will support the lucrative months ahead. Click here to follow our WhatsApp channel for tarot readings, love, health, career, and Chinese horoscopes delivered to your phone daily! Cancer Career Horoscope Two days after the Sun returned to your income sector and just as his friendly aspect to Saturn and Neptune on the career front peaks, the Moon not only returns today but as a New Moon. This puts the Moon into the same aspect, turning a New Moon that can give income potential the green light into something that can also act as a trigger and/or piggyback off the professional potential that has been building over the last few months. Leo Career Horoscope For the first time this year, the Moon is wrapping up its ordinary monthly visit to a nostalgic and reflective part of your chart without getting pushback from planets demanding you keep your work hat on. In fact, this is for the first time in six years, giving you your first insight into the full impact Uranus' departure earlier in the month. While this leaves you with everything needed to keep work and job matters on track, without a need to have your work hat on 24/7. Virgo Career Horoscope Two days into the month long wind down of your old solar year, the Moon not only joins the Sun in a nostalgic and reflective part of your chart today, but just as they both clash with Pluto on the other side of the sky in your busy work sector. While this is putting how well you know when to keep your work hat on and when to take it off in the spotlight, it comes just as both sides of life's fence have the kind of support and resources to get it right. Libra Career Horoscope Two days after the Sun left your career sector, as the Moon leaves, this will do more than just leave you with your professional instincts sharp and a better understanding of the insight gained during the month that the solar spotlight was on your career and professional situation, matters and options. As well as leaving you with a download of information to unpack from across the income, work and career fronts, this has been a chance to get a read on the forces that will continue to power this professional year. Scorpio Career Horoscope Two days after the Sun returned to your career sector, something that at this time each year will always put the solar spotlight on your career and professional situation, matters and options, the Moon not only returns today but as a New Moon. While a New Moon is all about new beginnings and this can give both job and career potential the green light, this also connects with planets that are holding the doors open to the past and untapped potential on both fronts. Sagittarius Career Horoscope It is just as Mars has moved into his final two weeks in your career sector and with it a chance to finally put his foot on the gas and go for broke, that the Sun and Moon have come together to power up the playful, creative and adventurous side of life's fence. This is thanks to a New Moon that won't run its course for another two days and as it is at the start of next week that the Moon and Mars will come together to bring things home, this will make it easier to hold back. Capricorn Career Horoscope While Venus is now in her final week in your work sector, with the Moon due to return to your career sector before she leaves next week, the best is still to come. While this will be an ordinary monthly visit and the heart of the working week this is going to bring things together on the income, work and career fronts, this last visit before Mars returns will make Venus' final days some of the best. Until then, you can hold back while continuing to listen to what your heart is telling you. Aquarius Career Horoscope Two days after the Sun left your work sector, something that at this time each year will always take the solar spotlight off your work situation and job matters, the Moon wraps up its monthly visit. Because the Moon returned just before the Sun left and over the last few days has connected with the forces across the income, work and career fronts that are here to stay, this allows you to move into this next phase with confidence. Pisces Career Horoscope Two days after the Sun returned to your work sector, the Moon not only returns today but as a New Moon. This is a New Moon that will always fall at some point during the Sun's month long visit, with the Sun and Moon coming together to give work and job potential the green light and to propel things forward. However, this is also able to act as a trigger for the planets that are holding the doors open to the past, second chances and untapped potential on both the income and job fronts.
